'The Thick of It' returns: Watch one-minute teaser video of episode 1

The Thick of It, possibly the funniest and most definitely sweariest show on British TV, returns this weekend.

Armando Iannucci's biting political satire is back to poke fun mercilessly at the coalition, spin doctors and the most bonkers elements of British politics.

With f-bombs and quotable one-liners at every turn ("I hate school children, they are volatile, stupid and they don't have the vote. I may as well be talking to f**king geese"), the show has lost none of its spark heading into its fourth run.

Watch a one-minute teaser clip of the first episode below:



The big question is what has happened to Peter Capaldi's devilish Malcolm Tucker following the government shake-up? Is it possible for him to get even angrier and more foul-mouthed now that he's on the sidelines?

The Thick of It returns on Saturday (September 8) at 9.45pm on BBC Two.
